New Year's Eve 2014

Since we have new babies, inconsistent sleep, and a lot going on in our lives, this year we headed to the Robinson's house for an early New Year's Eve celebration with them and the McDonnells (last year we were all in Port Aransas together!)! We decided 7 pm would be our 'midnight', and it was perfect! Laura had a pizza bar set out for the kids to make their own mini pizza- it was really cute and the boys really enjoyed doing it and were proud of their creations! 

An attempted picture of Ellie and Charley in their New Year's tiaras... will have to try again on that one as Ellie was ready for a nap! haha!
Then outside for little poppers and silly string! 

Got messy quickly!!! But the kids had a blast!

Then inside for our count down and cheers!! The kids all got to wear hats, had noise makers and a flute filled with Bubbly (juice!).  
Evan chugging his juice... should we be worried!?!
Cheers!! Everyone got to cheers their neighbor and drink! So cute!
   

And finally, some cookie cake for dessert! What a celebration!!
So blessed to be bringing in the New Year (even if a little early) with such wonderful people! Love these girls!

Is this from too much bubbly juice or cookie cake?! Wow!
I wanted to cheers with my boys too (and get my kiss!)!
He's saying, "Happy New Year!"
 


And we were still home in time to have Ellie in bed before 9 pm! Not crazy in the ways our New Years Eves have been in the past, but so special for different and new reasons!!! Welcome 2015!!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress...

Mother's Day Celebrations

What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
